100 Mile Hosting Curling Playdowns

January 8, 2019

The annual West Coast Blind Curling Provincial Playdowns are coming to 100 Mile House this weekend.

Four teams will be competing, 100 Mile, Vancouver, Prince George, and Kelowna, with the top teams going to the western provincial tournament this spring in Kamloops.

Organizer Lori Fry says “It was a bit of a challenge this year with the Greyhound situation.” She says backers stepped up to fund for drivers and accommodation to get the teams to 100 Mile.

The opening ceremony will be at 9 am at the 100 Mile Curling club this Friday with local dignitaries in attendance.

Curling for the Blind and Visually Impaired is essentially the same as the game played by sighted people. The difference is that each team has a sighted guide to assist the players in their delivery.

The BX Morning Show

I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
